NCAA Top 25 (Week 6)

1. LSU Tigers (6-0) LW 1
LSU took advantage of Florida team without their starting QB. Their defense was lethal again, holding Florida to only 11 points. But a good sign for the Tigers is that QB Jarrett Lee is starting to play well and doing a great job of throwing the ball down field. Add in returning QB Jordan Jefferson helping out running the ball and you have a very good team getting even better.

2. Oklahoma Sooners (6-0) LW 2
It was a one sided Red River Shootout this year. Behind 3 defensive touchdowns and QB Landry Jones the Sooners rolled Texas 55-17. The game wasn't even close. Oklahoma is showing teams that they are a National Title contender and a team not to forget about.

3. Alabama Crimson Tide (6-0) LW 3
QB AJ McCarron enjoyed the best game of his career throwing for 237 yards and 4 TDs in a 34-0 victory over Vanderbilt. This is a great sign for Alabama who is going to need him in big time games when teams load up the box to stop RB Trent Richardson. The Tide defense continues to play strong holding Vanderbilt to 0 points.

4. Boise State Broncos (5-0) LW 4
After struggled against Nevada the week before, the Broncos were back to their usual self routing former WAC rival Fresno State. The Bulldogs were thought to give Boise State some problems, but Kellen Moore carved up the defense in route to a 57-7 win. Moore even threw two TDs to Geraldo Boldewijn showing that he doesn't need top level WRs to score points.

5. Stanford Cardinal (5-0) LW 5
Stanford did their best to initiate Colorado into the Pac 12 with a big time butt kicking. Andrew Luck had a career day and the Cardinal rolled. Stanford hasn't lost a beat with the absence of Jim Harbaugh, but having Andrew Luck doesn't hurt. Next week Stanford travels to Washington State where they should continue their winning streak.

6. Wisconsin Badgers (5-0) LW 6
After their beat down of Nebraska the Badgers enjoyed a week off to get ready for the rest of their B1G Ten schedule. The Badgers are one of the top teams in the nation and if they can make it through the B1G 10 season undefeated they have an outside shot at a National Title appearance. this week they face off with bottom dweller Indiana before a two game stretch against Michigan State and Ohio State.

7. Clemson Tigers (6-0) LW 7
Clemson was able to keep their winning streak alive with a win over a struggling Boston College team. But in their win Tajh Boyd hurt his hip and had to leave the field on a cart. Luckily the injury wasn't severe and he'll be back for their game against Maryland. Maryland isn't very good and the Tigers should win easily. This could be a chance for Boyd to get out early to help rest his hip.

8. Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-0) LW 8
It looks like the top two teams in the Big 12 both reside in Oklahoma. The Cowboys made little work with Kansas this weekend putting up 70 points on the Jayhawks. But that shouldn't be a surprise. Kansas is bad and the Cowboys offense is one of the best. But if the Cowboys want to make it to the BCS party they are going to need their defense to come up big the rest of the year.

9. Oregon Ducks (4-1) LW 9
I will never understand why teams leave in their star players deep into blowout wins. Sure the Ducks want LeMichael James to put up big numbers for a chance to win a Heisman Trophy, but you would think over 200 yards would be enough? Oregon beat Cal easily, but James dislocated his elbow pretty bad and could miss some time. When will coaches learn?

10. Arkansas Razorbacks (5-1) LW 10
Arkansas didn't need a big come from behind win in the 2nd half to beat Auburn. They just did it right from the start. But the Arkansas offense continues to be on a roll. Taylor Wilson is showing everybody that he can be just as good (or maybe better) than Ryan Mallett last year. He didn't throw for over 300 yards in this game, but he didn't throw any picks and was very accurate. This Arkansas team is somebody you have to watch out for.

11. South Carolina Gamecocks (5-1) LW 11
After their loss to Auburn the Gamecocks decided it was time to switch QBs from Stephen Garcia to Connor Shaw. In his first game as the starter this year Shaw looked very good. He threw for 311 yards and 4 TDs in a 54-3 route of Kentucky. Next week they face off against a Mississippi State team that has a bunch of talent, but has underachieved this year. So it won't be easy.

12. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-0) LW 13
Despite a late rally, the Yellow Jackets were able to hold off Maryland to improve their record to 6-0. Paul Johnson has the Ramblin' Wreck's offense running on all cylinders. They look like the the Tech team that won the ACC a couple of years ago.

13. Michigan Wolverines (6-0) LW 16
It looked like the Wolverines prefect season was about to end in Evansville, but Denard Robinson bounced back from 3 early picks and dominated the 2nd half to win the game. Next week they face off against in state rival Michigan State in what will be a tough match up. But as long as the Michigan defense keeps improving, they'll have a great shot at representing the Leaders Division in the first ever B1G 10 Title Game.

14. Virginia Tech Hokies (5-1) LW 14
After losing to Clemson the week before, the Hokies were looking to get back on track. However they needed a late TD with 56 seconds on the clock to squeak out the win against a depleted Miami team. VaTech is a talented team, but they are going to need to play much better than this weekend if they want to stay in the hunt to make it to the ACC Title game.

15. West Virginia Mountaineers (5-1) LW 18
UConn was no match for the Mountaineers who cruised to a 43-16 win. Geno Smith was brilliant again throwing for 450 yards and 4 TDs. West Virginia's only loss this season was to #1 LSU. The Big East is pretty weak this year and the Mountaineers are clearly the class of the conference. They should roll through conference play as long as they keep their foot on the peddle.

16. Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1) LW 19
It took the largest come from behind win in school history for the Huskers to get their first B1G 10 conference win. The defensive continued to struggle, but they came up big against Ohio State when they needed it. On offense they seem to be finding their rhythm with QB Taylor Martinez and RB Rex Burkhead leading the way.

17. Baylor Bears (4-1) LW 20
After losing to Kansas State the week before, the Bears wanted to show that they are still a player in the Big 12. They did so defeating Iowa State 49-26. Griffin was his usual dynamic self, but this time he did it with his feet more so than his arm. He ran for a season high 107 yards to go with the 212 through the air. However, next week will be a huge game for them. They host Texas A&M this weekend in a game that they are going to need to win if they want to prove to people that they are the real deal.

18. Illinois Fighting Illini (6-0) LW 21
It didn't take much for the Illini to beat up lowly Indiana. QB Nate Scheelhaase was his normal explosive self leading Illinois to 41 points. The Illini win makes them bowl eligible for a second consecutive year for the first time in many years. Now all they have to do is face off against an Ohio State team that is coming off an game they should have won. This game could give us an indicator or how good Illinois really is.

19. Arizona State Sun Devils (6-0) LW 22
Arizona continues to win knocking off the pesky Utah Utes 35-14. This wins keeps the Sun Devils perfect in the Pac 12 and gives them an early lead in the South Division. However they shouldn't get over confident because they have to travel up to Oregon to face off against the top 10 ranked Ducks who are ready to prove that they are still the class of the Pac 12. This will be let another one of the prove it games we'll be seeing.

20. Florida Gators (4-2) LW 15
It was going to be a hard game to win against LSU anyways, but factor in that starting QB John Brantley was out and they had to start a true freshman against one of the best defenses in the nation. So when they lost nobody was surprised. Brantley won't be playing this upcoming week against Auburn, so they'll be facing an uphill battle against the talented Tigers.

21. Auburn Tigers (4-2) LW 17
Auburn has to be one of the most inconsistent teams in college football. They should have lost to Utah State, lost to Clemson, beat South Carolina, and then lost to Arkansas. They have a lot of talent, but just can't seem to put it all together on a consistent basis. Against Arkansas their defense had no answer for QB Taylor Wilson and the Razorback offense. A big key to their continued success is finding a consistent offensive threat outside of RB Michael Dyer.

22. Texas Longhorns (4-1) LW 12
Going into this season it looked like the Longhorns were one year away from being back. But with their early success it looked like they were a year ahead of schedule. Well Oklahoma snapped them back into reality in the Red River Shootout with a 55-17 beat down. And to make matters worse, they have to face off against Oklahoma Sate this weekend..Tough scheduling.

23. Texas A&M Aggies (3-2) LW 23
After two straight weeks of blowing 2nd half leads, it looked like the Aggies were going to do it again. However the Aggies stepped up and ended their losing streak by beating the Texas Tech Red Raiders. But A&M fans can't get too comfortable, because they have to go on th road and face off against a Baylor team that is out to prove that they are for real. A&M on the other hand, can't afford to lose this game.

24. Michigan State Spartans (4-1) LW 24
The Spartans get a week off after their win against Ohio State. Despite losing talent on defense the Spartans have one of the best defenses in the nation. They are going to need the defense to be good this weekend when they play in state rival Michigan and the dynamic Denard Robinson. The winner of this game should be in a good positing in the wide open Leaders Division.

25. Kansas State Wildcats (5-0) LW NR
KState has been one of the surprises this season at 5-0 with a win over Baylor two weeks ago and now they continued the momentum with their victory over Missouri. These Wildcats might be for real. They held Missouri's potent offense to only 17 points and got another good performance from QB Collin Klein.

Dropped Out: Florida State Seminoles
